    Default NL this time..

    Apparently I'm post happy today, does anyone call this?


    Button seemed to be a fairly solid player after mabye 60 hands with him.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (4 handed) converter

    Button ($10.76)
    SB ($3.53)
    BB ($9.92)
    Hero ($20.31)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
    Hero raises to $0.1, Button calls $0.10, 1 fold, BB calls $0.05.

    Min raise UTG? this table was tight usually pf aggresor w/contination bet took down the pot. I'd also been at this table awhile and was mixing up my play.

    Flop: ($0.32) , , (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.25, Button calls $0.25, BB folds.

    I'd been playing aggressivly, a check here would be suspicious

    Turn: ($0.82) (2 players)
    Hero bets $1, Button raises to $2.4, Hero calls $1.40.

    somewhat of a scare card if hes has J9, not sure what this raise means

    River: ($5.62) (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $8.01 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Any 9 beats me and if he was playing QJ I'm out too, it took me a long time to fold this, if he was any fishier of a player I call.

    Final Pot: $13.63

    It's .05$ NL. THERE IS NO REASON TO MIX UP YOUR PLAY. Anything <$50 Buy-in (limit or NL) requires you to play straight up, high value, ABC poker. FPS will only cost you money. 1) They won't be there long enough for you to cash in on it, 2) They wouldn't notice if you did anyways.

    If you are going to steal the blinds, goddamit, act like you mean it. 3-5 raise here is good, And then reraise that turn!!!!!
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.

    like marm said. just play good hands and you will get paid off. simple as that.

    i have no idea what he had. he probably had a straight, but ive seen people play like this on a complete bluff at low level nl. try to end the hand on the turn, just calling gives him a free card on the straight and flush draw filled board. not what you want to do with top 2 pair.

    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    im probably re-raising all in on the turn, if he has the J9 then so be it, you still have 4 outs to make ur boat. And ur a huge favourite over most of the other hands he could have. Also raise this harder pf. 3-4x BB.
